Qualification:

Bachelor Degree

Experience:

I have been tutoring English subjects for 7 years now. I aim to provide a solid grounding in the subject while paying close attention to the needs of the individual. An initial meeting establishes the student’s needs and the direction tuition should take, usually with a parent present. Then we begin work on a programme of study which focuses on filling gaps in knowledge and addressing any areas of weakness.

Approach:

I aim to provide a solid grounding in the subject while paying close attention to the needs of the individual. An initial meeting establishes the student’s needs and the direction tuition should take, usually with a parent present. Then we begin work on a programme of study which focuses on filling gaps in knowledge and addressing any areas of weakness. Often, this involves looking in detail at sentence construction and grammar or the techniques of literary analysis – the kinds of things that tend not to happen in a busy classroom. I set regular homework and writing assignments – the quantity varying with how much time the student has – and give feedback the following session. For younger students who need encouragement to read, I provide tailored reading lists. We will often spend five minutes at the beginning or end of a lesson discussing their latest book. At A-level, I encourage the wider reading essential for the deeper understanding of English literature expected by the exam boards.
